Steve said he was now looking forward to sitting down to watch the first episode with his family.

“The thing I am most excited about is that my wife and kids have never seen a single second of it. They are going to watch it tonight with me.

“My three eldest are teenagers and they will probably be blasé about it. I took them to Cardiff to watch Doctor Who being filmed and then when the doctor changed I asked if they wanted to go back and they said: ‘Oh, do we have to?’”

Apart from Rockingstone Quarry, viewers will be looking out for other local sights including Colne Valley Museum in Golcar and the moors above Meltham.
